NME (Magazine) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[CHARLI] sees her at her most comfortable and genuine; everything feels authentically her. Bold, brash and brilliant, this is Charli XCX at her most genuine, and it's dazzling."

Paste (magazine) - "The self-titled collection is and brimming with features, as Chuck is wont to do -- her excellent mixtapes are also a who's who of forward-thinking pop artists. CHARLI continues that teamwork spirit."
